======================================

Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 3 million people working to defend human rights and dignity. In 2011 we celebrated our 50th year. On 6 -- 8 October 2011, we drew on that fifty years of experience to hold our biggest ever Human Rights Conference at Royal on the Park in Brisbane, Queensland.

We assembled an impressive array of human rights defenders, experts and commentators to lead a series of lectures, discussions and workshops over three days -- all focused around the conference theme of 'Change the World'.
